I was thinking the same thing... I also noticed it was 2010, so just let it be.

Bruising was not good, I do not condone it and an investigation is appropriate...but what could she do besides move him away from other kids, OP?

If he was flopping around, hitting, kicking and spitting (as I have seen before many times in centers as an employee) physically picking him up and removing him from the room (full of OTHER children) IS the only option she had. 5 year olds are big kids.....

What would you have had her do? Remove all the other kids?

I am the Mother of an ADHD child (a teen, now) and what you describe as "normal" is way beyond ANYTHING I have witnessed in my own son. Violence is NOT part of ADHD.
